Natural History in Barnsley
Whitwell Moor above Stocksbridge is the place for our field visit this coming Saturday morning, April 12th.
We will be looking for the wildlife on this former grouse moor, including lapwings and curlews.
With the end of management of this site, it is becoming better for wildlife. The views are fantastic too!
We will be meeting for 10.00am at the west end of Long Lane.

Great to see so many this last Saturday morning at RSPB Adwick Washlands; a good birding session with splendid weather! Thanks to Lesley for leading the field visit and for producing the bird species list. As usual, great for a variety of wintering birds; a highlight was the five or six Tree Sparrows in the hedges at the Bolton-upon-Dearne end of the reserve. And of course we examined the lichens as well!
